The face of the moon was fully one-half covered. A few of our romantically inclined young men rather likod the idea that it came bo late.

He has since mado o'YiMifes.sion to John Raily ami a Fosi reporter in which he implicates Hau rison Gruiubiiio as leader of tho gulng, Norman Long and quito a nuiiber of others w ho aro not so bad as the leader. The time set for tho robbery was last Satur day ovening' when tho would bo rob bers expectfod that tho young folks would bo at tho Kratzervillo picnic and the doors would be unlocked. THE l'LAN was for the gaug to bo provided with two sots of revolvers, ono set loaded with blank cartridges to scaro the Hailoys into submission and tho othjir set to compel them to yield to their demand for the money. Other means of torturo had boon concocted, such as holding a caudle io their feet. Wo pre Bumo this wus intended as a light to thoir pathway to eternity. Four places were to bo robbed on this night, John Bailey's, Feter Bailey's, Monroe Fisher's nnd Milton Gross'. Feter Bailey raised Grumbino and tho neighbors generally look upon him as a bad character. Peter Bailey had $.!00 in tho houso before he heard of tho attempted robbery and ho sent the crooks a very cordial invitation to come as ho would be prepared to give them a warm recep tion. A strange coincidonco in this af fair is tho fact that George Rusk, the young man who confessed, was raised by Jacob Lud wig, upon whom Focht, Fry'and Zechman made the brutal assault near Quaker Kun, Juniata county, on tho .'loth of last April. Rusk evidently had a great deal of manhood about him and deserves groat crodit for disclosing the villanous conspiracy to violate the laws of the commonwealth in a most shameful and disgraceful mtui nor.

Tho people of Dry Kun, Franklin county had a sensation of their own making on Sunday of last week. Some unknown party had blown up tho pipes of the Crescent pipe Lino Company mid the oil run a quarter of a mile into a cave which was soon filled. Then the water in some of tho wells became contaminated and tho residents concluded to get rid of tho oil by setting it on tire. When tho match was applied ia the cave, however, a terrific explosion occured, which sent the rocks aud dirt hun dreds of feet into tho air. Tlio per sons who had devisod this method barely escaped with their lives. A spring houso on the farm of Ezra Skinner was blown to atoms and tho house and barn woro only savod by the cave opening in an opposite direc tion. The oil has been burning ever since, with little prospect of cessa tion. The pipe lino is beiug repaired as rapidly as possiblo. It is esti mated that 1,000 barrels of oil were jn the cavo when tho match was np p'i'd. Fo;t Royal Timed. VI h
